I have a WinForm ComboBox that is populated by binding to a dataset that
contains a list of employees (two columns: 1. employee id, 2. employee name).
The id is bound to the ValueMember, the name to the DisplayMember. The
dataset is then disposed.
When an item is selected from the combobox, the value is easy to get. Yet
when I try to capture the selected text I get a "DataRowVie w" back. I've
tried to work my way through the DataRowView but I keep hitting a wall. Is
there a simple way to access the selected DisplayMember? It shouldn't be this
difficult.
Thank you

Isn't it something like:
cboBox.Items[cboBox.Selected Index].Text
??

Ok the following works... but is ugly and static, need the same idea
but dynamic, so as the 'theOwner' form main menu is defined,
NotifyIcon.ContextMenu can be updated.
Dim the0 As MenuItem = theOwner.Menu.MenuItems(0)
Dim the1 As MenuItem = theOwner.Menu.MenuItems(1)
Dim theItems As MenuItem()
ReDim theItems(1)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
